Security Consulting in the Age of Terror

In a world of instability due to military conflicts, global terrorism and constantly rising crime-rates, the need for professional security consulting based on real field experience, is increasingly rising.

The days when your local security-system installer automatically became your security consultant (just by being your electronic equipment vendor) are over. So are the days when no one paid attention to the installer’s actual experience. And few cared about the conflict of interest involved, in which the installer’s primary concern may have been to sell costly equipment, regardless of cost-efficiency, threat feasibility, or the man-machine interface.

Entire security systems were designed based on the collaboration of law-abiding citizens so it’s no wonder these systems completely failed when confronted with criminals, terrorists, or just unpredictable actions.

The ever growing phenomenon of information-technology-based crime (embezzlement, industrial espionage, identity theft, “phishing,” system intrusion and sabotage) presents the security industry with yet another huge challenge – "cyber crime". Dealing with this type of security problem requires combining state-of-the-art technologies with advanced physical security techniques and tactics, and targeted awareness programs for IT professionals as well as for regular system users. Effective security (physical as well as IT) has to be planned and executed based on a comprehensive threat analysis that should include the following steps:.



  • grading assets according to their importance to the organization or mission criticality
  • mapping of assets and objects to be secured
  • analyzing the potential threats to the operation and the feasibility of each respective threat to materialize
  • assessing the real risk of these threats by evaluating impact combined with feasibility
  • Studying the existing security layout and its ability to address the threats that surfaced in the analysis
  • presenting the findings and recommending cost effective solutions
  • reform planning and budgeting
  • implementation supervising

As it is clear to all that 100% security systems do not exist, the emphasis should lay in properly prioritizing our security projects when planning and implementing security solutions, while using the more cost-effective ones that provide the widest coverage within the resources available. 

Doing that requires professional security consulting

We, at Max Security Solutions believe that professionalism, field-experience-based approach, creativity, attention to detail, and expert implementation enable us to deliver the goods.
